king of black mist.

Chapter 148 Reunion

When Li Changzhou returned to his room, a girl named Xiaoling put water on him to wash up.

He took a look and found that the pipes in the house had hot and cold water, which was more comfortable than when he was a child. He used to cook himself in a pot when he was a child, and the tap water was useless, let alone hot and cold. .

"Second Master, I heard that you met an assassin today?" Xiaoling couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"A few thieves." Li Changzhou replied, rolling up his sleeves at the same time, preparing to wash his face.

"Thief? Is there any difference between a thief and an assassin?"

"The thief is you, and the assassin is my elder brother, understand?" Li Changzhou put his hand into the basin, poured water to wash his face.

Xiaoling tilted her head and thought for a while, then shook her head: "I don't understand."

Li Changzhou took the towel from her, wiped his face, and asked her, "How old are you?"

"13 is old."

"How old is the Marshal's Mansion?"

"Eleventh, I did a good job later on. I started serving my second aunt when I was 12, and I took care of you, Master, when I was 13!" Xiaoling proudly said, stroking her braid with her face raised.

Li Changzhou wiped his face slowly, and after wiping his face, he wiped his hands carefully.

After Xiaoling went down, Li Changzhou went back to the bedroom.

There are three rooms in his house, the living room, the study room, and the bedroom. The living room is between the study room and the bedroom.

He closed his eyes and visualized "Thunder Book" for a while. When the time on the pendulum was approaching 12 o'clock, he couldn't sit still anymore, and actively used the "Bond Summoning" of "Gemini".

As if opening his eyes, a crack opened in the space in front of him.

The eyes opened wider and wider, and in the dim light, a piece of snow-white could be vaguely seen, shaking like a delicate flower in the wind.

"Brother! What are you doing! I'm getting dressed!" Li Qianxia exclaimed in a low voice from across her eyes.

She squatted down and curled up with her back to the "eyes".

Li Changzhou turned his back: "Didn't you say you would call me if you had the chance? It's almost 12 o'clock now."

"Stop talking." Suo Suo, who was quickly getting dressed, came from behind, "Xiaoyue gave me the identity of a shoe factory worker, so I'm off work!"

She complained again: "I wanted to call you when I wanted to take a bath, but I was peeped by you. If you don't invite me to dinner, I will tell Qinglan."

"I want to invite you to dinner after taking a look at your shoulders? Then you usually show your thighs, arms, belly button, and straps with a collar. I also saw it. How do you count?"

"Please treat me to a lifetime meal... that's it."

Li Changzhou turned around, the "eyes" had become a "door", and Li Qianxia jumped over from the opposite side.

As soon as she came over, her eyes full of spirituality swept around Li Changzhou's bedroom.

"Little days are not bad!" She slapped Li Changzhou's shoulder heavily, gritting her teeth.

"I'll give you some money when you leave." Li Changzhou was very sensible.

"Give me money? Are you looking down on me? I'm not leaving!" Li Qianxia threw herself on the bed, "This quilt, this pillow, and the scent! It's better than my modern life!"

Li Changzhou smiled and explained: "It's dangerous to follow me, let's separate first."

"Dangerous?" Li Qianxia raised her head.

Li Changzhou told what happened today.

"Serial dramas don't dare to be so exciting." Li Qianxia commented, her brother thought he could deal with those people, but she didn't insist.

Then he told his story again.

"I have also learned a craft, and I can tie the soles of shoes."

As she spoke, she used her left hand as the sole of a shoe, and the right hand took the needle. She used the thread to thread it up and down. From time to time, she went to get other tools, poked the "sole" and bit it with her teeth.

"It's really hard." After finishing a "sole", she sighed heavily, and beat her left shoulder with her right hand.

After talking about work, we talked about where we live.

A large yard is rented by several families, separated by low boards, and only one bed can be accommodated in each room, squeezing a large family.

Husband and wife, children, eat there all their lives, sleep there, children are born there, and grow up there. Like the battlefield, this place is also a kind of hell on earth.

Li Qianxia lived with a group of female workers who came from other places, and they seemed to be from the same village.

Li Changzhou thought of Xiaoling, who was serving others at the age of 11. In modern times, this is the age of being served by others, but Xiaoling doesn't feel bitter at all, because there are more bitter people and lives.

"By the way," Li Qianxia remembered something, "Did you find Qinglan?"

"No." Li Changzhou came back to his senses, "But as soon as the news of my assassination is published in the newspaper tomorrow, she will know where I am."

Li Qianxia nodded, and said, "Give me the money later, and I'll buy a movie ticket for 28pm on the [-]th, just in case."

"it is good."

The two siblings chatted for a while, and Li Changzhou gave 1000 oceans to Li Qianxia.

"1000, guess how much I pay for a day's work?"

"A big ocean?" Li Changzhou raised a finger, trying to make the smallest guess.

"Heh!" Li Qianxia sneered, "Dream, you two hairs! This is your invincible, cute, and super capable sister with quick hands and feet! Guess again, how much is my monthly rent?"

"How many?"

"Ten oceans!" Li Qianxia raised two fingers, overlapping them like a crossroads.

"Can you afford it?" Li Changzhou asked curiously.

"So rent together! Ten people share rent, and it only costs [-] cents a month!"

Li Changzhou nodded.

"You will nod?" Li Qianxia spread her hands, "A little more."

"Why do you want so much money? I can't take the money here." Li Changzhou gave her another thousand. This time he had no cash, and he used a check from Songcheng Commercial Bank.

"There is a little sister surnamed Xu who is going to get married. She doesn't even have a new dress. She picks up other people's rags and sews them herself. I will buy her a set of clothes. I also plan to secretly give them a few more."

Li Changzhou didn't say it was futile, the past in front of him was not really past, these little sisters were already dead.

Historically, the married woman was destined to marry in "new clothes" sewn from shabby clothes.

"Be careful," he said only, "don't give too much, and don't be too obvious."

"I know, I'm leaving, alas, why can't the honeypot world be used in the copy!"

Li Qianxia sneaked back to Qianshu Lane on Xinnan Road (where she lived) in the dark.

The little sister surnamed Xu is always the first one to start sewing new clothes recently, hurry up to go to the factory to finish the work, and then come back to sew clothes until the last one sleeps.

Li Qianxia secretly threw away a hundred oceans in the well water where she brushed her teeth. After thinking about it, she put away half of it, leaving only thirty.

It is impossible for anyone in the yard to lose so much money—the people who live here will have nothing to eat if they don’t work for three days, and they have no savings, let alone 30 oceans.

In order to ensure that the money was picked up by Sister Xu, Li Qianxia was the first to wake up on April 4, using her perception to pay attention to everything around her.

Sister Xu was still "the first" to wake up, yawning, and closed her eyes when she went out to wash.

After a while, Li Qianxia heard an exclamation, followed by heavy breathing.

After a while, Sister Xu came back quietly. She gently lifted up the cushion at the head of the bed and hid the oceans one by one at the bottom.

Li Qianxia and sister Xu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and both smiled.

At work that day, sister Xu sometimes worried, sometimes laughed, and was distracted all the time, her fingers were pierced by the shoe awl.

"What's wrong?" another sister asked.

"No..." Sister Xu immediately panicked.

"I can't wait to sleep with a man." Li Qianxia teased her.

"Sleeping man?"

"So it's Sichun!"

The sisters burst into laughter, and Sister Xu breathed a sigh of relief, but her face was soon flushed with shame. A group of young women in 1928, while piecing insoles and earning the twenty cents, whispered about what it was like to sleep with a man, and asked She must come back after marriage to "teach them a lesson"!
At noon, Li Qianxia went to the street to buy a newspaper from a newsboy on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Not in a hurry to read, she found a rickshaw and told the driver to go to Liyuan before she spread the newspaper.

[Second Master Li met his fiancée and was assassinated! 】

[The commander-in-chief and the youngest went out of the city to suppress the bandits, and Li Erye became the "city lord"! 】

On the newspaper was a photo of Li Changzhou, wearing a suit and holding a civilized stick, handsome and delicate, with a richness like jade, and he couldn't see the wretchedness of stealing pornographic books at all.

"Tsk!" Li Qianxia smacked her tongue in disgust, took another look carefully, and then looked away from the photo in satisfaction, as if she had finished admiring the beautiful photos of herself.

The newspaper is in traditional Chinese characters, although she can't write it, it doesn't affect the reading, the only troublesome thing is the typesetting - vertical.

The difficulty caused by different reading habits is much greater than that of traditional Chinese characters.

Turning over the newspaper, there is another big headline.

[The Spring Emperor is here!Liyuan starred! 】

The photo is of a magnificent beauty, with a cheongsam on the left and an actress on the right.

Spring Emperor?

The Spring Emperor played by Gusu Murong? !

I'm going to see myself? !

Li Qianxia became excited. She had listened to "The Spring Emperor of the Liyuan" starring Gusu Murong for a long time. When talking to her brother, she would raise her orchid fingers and squeeze her throat.

Looking at the appearance in the photo, even if it is black and white, it is no worse than Gusu Mu Rong.

With excitement, she finally arrived at Liyuan. She found that she ran for nothing and had no tickets at all. Even the tickets in the aisle (temporarily added seats) were sold out!

"Damn it!" Li Qianxia imitated Two-dimensional and cursed.

Deer-like nimble eyes, looking for targets around, to see if they can launch a personal revolution of "robbing the rich and helping the poor" in the hands of a certain bureaucratic capital.

She is not polite to rich people, and it's just a ticket, so it won't matter if you miss a show!
Eyes were looking around, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a car coming. In 1928, having a car at home was the same as having a private jet at home 100 years later.

You are the one!

The car stopped, the door opened, and people stepped out.

"what?"

The person in front of him is wearing no make-up and clothes, but he looks like a fairy, his skin is like the first snow, and his appearance is like a fairy girl, no, it is the fairy girl herself.

"Qing Lan!" Li Qianxia ran over in surprise.

Yang Qinglan put her fingers on her cherry-like lips, signaling her not to speak on the street.

She dragged Li Qianxia into the pear garden, and found a remote corner: "There are people coming and going around here, and there are many rickshaws parked all year round. There may be players among those drivers. Be careful."

"Understood." Li Qianxia responded, and then asked the doubt that had been lingering in her heart just now, "Qinglan, why are you able to enter and exit the opera garden? You want to perform on stage? I saw you in a car!"

"The car belongs to the theater troupe. I go out to do errands, and my identity is an apprentice."

"apprentice?"

"It's just doing chores."

"Doing chores." Li Qianxia's two ruddy and delicate lips shrunk into a pout, as if her pockets were tightly tied, preventing laughter from coming out.

'Yang Qinglan, Fairy Gushe, tell my brother tonight as a handyman!Hahahahahaha! '

Li Qianxia remained calm.

Yang Qinglan glared at her slightly, completely guessing her thoughts.

"By the way!" Li Qianxia hurriedly changed the subject, "Qinglan, do you know my brother? He has become the second master of Li! He has a lot of money! He smells like copper! He even became a bureaucrat!"

Yang Qinglan took out the newspaper from the bag, and on the surface of the folded newspaper was Li Changzhou's photo.

"I'm just going to buy newspapers for Chunhuang." After a short pause, she said, "You ask him to come to Liyuan tomorrow, I have something to ask him."

"Qinglan, you don't have to worry so much, my brother didn't do anything to apologize to you except peeking at me changing clothes, I promise!"

"You come too, I will prepare a place for you."

"Ah—" Li Qianxia lowered her face, "I'm just kidding, he just glanced at my shoulders, usually I wear a collar and show off my shoulders."

"You don't want to watch the Spring Emperor's performance?"

"Come on!" Soldier Li Qianxia replied as if facing the instructor.

Yang Qinglan couldn't help but smiled slightly, glanced around, and said softly: "I have something to discuss with you, not to trouble your brother."

She put the newspaper in her bag and said inadvertently, "You have something to tell him for me today—don't do it because it's a small evil."

"Don't touch any women, right? Make sure to bring them!"

Although Li Qianxia grasped the key point, Yang Qinglan still wanted to tell her: "Don't generalize, just speak the truth."
